WASHINGTON – Hillary Rodham Clinton’s Hollywood pals are howling that she’s become a prissy goody-two-shoes who is trying to muzzle them.

Folks like William Baldwin, Lauren Bacall, Robin Williams and Chevy Chase charge it’s “unacceptable and dangerous” for Clinton and Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) to back a bill to crack down on movie sex and violence.

“I think that it is our obligation to at least go after Sen. Lieberman and Sen. Clinton with as much verve as we would Sen. [Jesse] Helms,” Baldwin told MSNBC.

In the 2000 election, Hollywood backed the Gore-Lieberman ticket and Hillary Clinton, and Baldwin’s brother Alec even threatened to flee to France if George W. Bush won.

The entertainment industry was one of the prime financial forces behind Clinton’s Senate bid and gave the New York Democrat $594,435, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

The Democratic presidential ticket of Al Gore and Lieberman took heat for vowing to crack down hard on film violence and then changing their tune when they went to Hollywood for campaign cash. Lieberman said they’d just “nudge” on the issue.

The Lieberman-Clinton bill would let the Federal Trade Commission go after movies, videos and music for deceptive advertising whenever adult content gets marketed to kids.

“The suggestion that government could directly or indirectly decide what is ‘acceptable’ entertainment for any American is unacceptable and dangerous,” the film stars wrote to the ex-first lady.

They claim the bill is unconstitutional because it would limit freedom of speech under the First Amendment.

Democratic Hollywood may have an ally in President Bush on this issue – the bill so far has no Republican sponsors because GOP leaders say they’re worried about the First Amendment.

Lieberman yesterday wrote Bush urging support for the bill, but White House deputy press secretary Scott McClellan declined to endorse it, suggesting Bush favors the same goals by other means.

“The president favors providing parents with the tools they need and working with the entertainment industry and with all Americans to find commonsense solutions,” McClellan said.
